Description:
I. Event Descriptiona. The 2013 Colorado leg of the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Bicycle Ride will be a unique part of a larger network of bicycle rides across the U.S. to honor “in the line of duty” deaths in the Emergency Medical Services field. The mission of National EMS Memorial Bike Ride, Inc. is to “honor Emergency Medical Services personnel by organizing and implementing long distance cycling events that memorialize and celebrate the lives of those who serve everyday, those who have become sick or injured while performing their duties, and those who have died in the line of duty.”b. The Colorado portion will take place over three days, and will span virtually all of the front-range. Riders will be given the opportunity to complete approximately 180 miles of Colorado’s beautiful road cycling while sharing the experience with a group of like minded professionals to remember the fallen, sick and injured in the EMS profession.c. This is a moderately paced, recreational ride. THIS IS NOT A RACE.

Comments: We do not currently have planned maintenance along the proposed route(s) on the date(s) of the event. However, since this event occurs on a regular work day, we are unable to guarantee that participants will entirely avoid traversing surfaces that have recently, or are then currently scheduled, to receive maintenance. At the time of the event, portions of the route(s) may traverse roads that have recently received repairs or surface maintenance. The surface maintenance techniques may include asphalt overlay, chip seal and seal coat. If the event coordinator will contact Justin Hersh, Materials Manager 970-498-5662 thirty days prior to the event, we will coordinate our work in the area as best we can to accommodate the event without conflict. Event promoters are reminded that they are not to post event signs on traffic sign posts within the public road Right-Of-Way or paint on the surface of the road.
